Partners Solitario Resources (SLR-T) and Britannia Gold (BGP-V) have completed the first phase of drilling on the Tigre property, 50 km east of Chiclayo in northern Peru.
Under an option agreement with owner Britannia, Solitario is exploring the 7,200-ha property to earn a 60% interest. The first phase consisted of 21 holes, for a total of 2,224 metres.
The latest results indicate anomalous gold values in 16 holes, with results pending for the remaining five. The best intersections include: 27 metres of 0.92 gram gold; 34.5 metres of 0.73 gram; 9 metres of 1.83 grams; 9 metres of 1.07 grams; 6 metres of 1.48 grams; and 7.5 metres of 0.75 gram.
Solitario plans to use these results, as well as other exploration surveys, to develop targets for its next drill program.
Britannia, meanwhile, has started to drill the Amanda property, near the Pierina prospect of Arequipa Resources (AQP-V) in northern Peru. The company is also exploring other projects in Peru, as well as in Mexico.
